    LDUB--- No, your computer is just fine. You were correct in that this thread is too w-w-w-i-i-i-d-d-d-e-e-e ! ! !

    Glad I'm not the only one that's not getting the full picture.
    I dunno if this qualifies as "misery loves company", but out of some semblance of respect for your elders, you younguns' please learn to post FULL SIZE IMAGES (so as not to strain my bi-focals) VERTICALLY...
    It's not that hard to explore the posting options bar at the top of the "My Pics" screen...if I can figure it out, you young whipper snappers ought to be able to in about 2.0 seconds...
    Hint: when you open "my pics"
    Insert tools = original image
    Alignment = inline
    (Rob, you reading this?)

    You ever come over my house, I'm hiding all the bottle openers and can openers (gotta bust some balls here.... I used to do body and paint work).

    Good stuff tho. I am currently running a completely non-functional induction scoop. Looks only since my accident last year replaced my vented hood. Gonna go back to the stock insert as I think both induction and extraction are useless to us (unless we wanna start talking TRUE ram-air for the S/C ).

    Sorry I was napping... I thought I had fixed it the first time you told me or do mine go wide as well? I know in the begining I did a small one and it was bothersome as well as I am now reaching into that Older hemisphere I too hate seeing smaller pics. I have a post for the reno gang I been meaning to post.

    No I am not sorry to thread jack lol. Its what we do .

    LOL, just get twist off bottles and pop-top cans and no worries. I did sand the final down a bit, with the trim, it isn't too bad, but certainly not perfect.
    I wish a body shop wouldn't charge 200 dollars for a 1 hour job...then a pro could have done it. But for a first time event, I am ok with the results.
    As far as cold air intake, I don't know, I have been looking, it can't be worse than our existing intake, and the extra room would be nice. That factory airbox is huge.

    Wow, this was a blast from the past! That scoop is still there, never changed the tape. That is amazing, been through mud, snow, pressure washed, and so on. Now it is LineXed on forever!
